A murder mystery that is edgy, raw, and gritty. It's packed full of danger with wild twist and turns

Baleigh Burgess was trapped. Her world spun out of control the night her partner/lover was gunned down. Facing prison on trumped up drug charges, she was forced to go undercover to find the killer. She wasn't prepared to face her suspects, her old motorcycle gang, she once ran with back in the day.

Faced with her morals being comprised in proving her loyalty. Concealing her identity which if discovered was certain death. Baleigh lived on the edge and only grew darker when a man, a stone cold killer entered her life. Was he there to kill her or lover her?

Running Blind takes you on a taut, dark murder mystery, where everyone is a suspect and a thin line of betrayal looms at every turn.

"Turning to leave the room, Baleigh stopped dead in her tracks. Voices. A female voice and one she recognized right away…Jodie. Fuck. She could also hear footsteps and there were more than one set. Derrick? Baleigh was stuck at the door entrance. The voices came from the back of the house and it dawned her she did not lock the door. An inward groaned rang through her, they would know right off someone had broken in.
She clutched the revolver and knew she might have to shoot her way out. What seemed like a nice little tattle tale was turning into a shoot out. Baleigh's whole inside were racked with fear. She had no idea which way to go, cringing she poked her head out to see if she could make out where they were. Glancing down the hall towards the kitchen her eyes could not focus in the darkness.
It was pitch black, no shadows of light which was odd to her. Then with a sudden force something hard smashed to her face. Baleigh had no idea what hit her, she crumbled to the ground as the haunting silence captured her."

"His gaze moved off her face. He looked over the bar like he was measuring his words before he shifted back to her. "You were 5-O, a badge. Do you know what that means girl? That is the ultimate disrespect. Fuck, how do I not know you aren't playing us right now?"

"Please, Charlie. They fired me, I got a man killed. Truth? I wasn't cut for that life. I messed up bad, but I realized this is where I belonged. I was stupid young. "
That brought out a short laugh from Charlie as he eased back into the leather backrest. "You weren't owned, nor wore colors. Just a bar fly." When he squinted looking at her, she held her breath. He was sorting it out and this was when it could get scary dangerous. "Here is the deal, you'll have to work your way back in. Give Jodie your cell number and I will have one of my guys call you. You'll do what he tells you when he tells you."
Baleigh wanted to protest, that was going to take too much time, she needed to get back into the day to day to find Travis's killer. Charlie was being shrewd. Keep her involved at the periphery to make sure she wasn't narcing him but testing her at the same time. Fuck, she had to go along, and better than that, be tossed to Jodie's dyke brigade of losers.
She gave him a weak smile. "Sure Snake, you're the man, and I'll do anything, you know that."
Snakeskin Charlie laughed and waved her off. "Get outta of here and go wait for the call."
"Who'll be calling? So, I don't get spooked"
"Cadillac Tommy."
When Baleigh heard that name, she froze. It would be hell calling her."
